The MBiomedE degree program is designed to cater for students with either a medical/biological science or engineering/physical science background.

In the early part of the program, candidates with a medical/biological science background may study basic engineering courses such as mathematics, mechanics, electronics and computing. Candidates without a biomedical background may take courses in physiology and/or anatomy. All candidates then choose electives from the list below including the optional 12 units of credit Masters Project (Thesis). The program offers scope for original research into the application of engineering principles and technology to health care delivery.

Period of candidature: The normal period is three academic semesters (full-time) or six academic semesters (part-time) from the date of enrolment. The maximum period of candidature is six academic semesters (full-time) and twelve academic semesters (part-time). In special cases extensions may be granted.

Please contact the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering for information regarding the Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes.

The program offers some flexibility in the early stages whereby students from different backgrounds may undertake introductory courses to broaden their knowledge of either biomedical or physical sciences. Candidates must complete a program totaling 72 units of credit, 48 of which must be at graduate level and a minimum of 48 units must be from the courses listed below. Before final course selection candidates should submit an intended program plan to the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering for discussion and approval.

The core biomedical engineering content may be selected from the following options:
